Me and Mr Jones

Upon Bliss N Eso’s track ‘My Life’ (from their 2013 release Circus in the Sky), you will find guest vocals from Ceekay Jones. He would join the Aussie favourites on a tour to support the album, and rocked it out with the band at the 2013 ARIAs. You can also hear him spitting verses on DJ Remady and Manu-L’s release, The Original.
Although his life as a musician shares similarities to his previous life as a top athlete, injury is one thing he probably doesn’t have to worry about too much. His parents were ski racers, his mum a member of the U.S. Ski Team, so it was inevitable he followed suit. Jones became a member of the Jr. Olympic Team and many Jr. National teams, before later picking up snowboarding. At the age of 19 he blew out his knees, which led him back to where he grew up in Taos, New Mexico. It was here that Ceekay found solace in making music with friends, and soon snowboarding dreams were replaced with musical dreams. Bit by bit things took shape. Danny Diablo, aka Lord EZEC, invited him to join his band Skarhead, a place where Jones found a home for the next four years. In 2010, he decided to focus on a solo career. The Karova, Ballarat – January 10.
